Kostas sisterhood of the traveling pants

Who could forget Lena’s swoon-worthy boyfriend Kostas in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, who she met in Greece while visiting family? The rivalry between their families resembled the epicness of the Montagues and Capulets, and we couldn’t help but root for these lovebirds despite the family tension it caused. Kostas was caring, sensitive, and hard-working.

And those dimples and sharp jawline certainly didn’t hurt.

And – let’s be real – you easily imagined yourself boarding his fishing boat in lieu of Lena.

We’d go finishing with Kostas any day.

The actor who played Kostas, Michael Rady, has since appeared in several TV shows–including Intelligence, Jane the Virgin, and UnREAL–and he’s still a total heartthrob.

Here he is playing the role of Special Agent Chris Jameson on Intelligence.

Same dreamy eyes, gorgeous hair, and jawline that could cut glass.

And here he is now, in his full, bearded glory.

Some things only get better with time…like a bearded Michael Rady, obviously.

He’s also a super cute dad and husband, who has two boys with his wife.

I mean, can you get much cuter? #familygoals

And his first Snapchat, which he also shared on Twitter, is adorably perfect.

*swooning* <3

Here he is, geeking out while on the set of UnREAL.

Some things truly *do* get better with time.

Like wine – and Michael Rady.

We’re still holding out hope that he’ll someday reprise his role as Kostas in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3, perhaps?? Lucky for us, we can still catch him on UnREAL in the meantime.

Only true ‘90s kids will immediately recognize this face. If not, let us fill you in: This is the guy who, among other things, played Kostas in 2005’s “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” He was the sensitive Greek soul who saves Lena (Alexis Bledel) from drowning and basically causes her sexual awakening the same summer she shares a magical pair of jeans with her three best friends. Classic summer romance.

What true ‘90s kids may not realize is that Kostas is all grown up, and his name is not really Kostas (weird how that happens). In fact, true ‘90s kids who have grown up and have started watching Lifetime’s “UnREAL” may have realized that our boy here looks a little familiar.

Whoa.

Kostas — OK, OK, his name is really Michael Rady — has sneakily been on our screens ever since Season 2 of “UnREAL” began, playing Coleman Wasserman, the network darling who’s supposed to swoop in and save “Everlasting” (an analog of “The Bachelor”) from itself. It looks like he hasn’t changed his M.O. (mostly: kissing ladies) at all.

Rady hasn’t been sleeping since 2005, either. Since his smoldering Greek days, he’s been featured on the “Melrose Place” reboot as well as “Jane the Virgin” and “Emily Owens M.D.,” among other shows.

But let’s be real: He’ll always have a little Kostas in him.

And for an extra bonus, here’s a reminder of what his “Sisterhood” co-stars wore to the 2005 Kids’ Choice Awards. Mid-aughts, we miss you.
